After Liu Yu decided to form an alliance with the Road of Peace, almost a month had passed. Everything in Liangshan was developing in an orderly manner.
At this moment, there were more than fifty thousand soldiers and commoners on Liangshan. Among them, there were fifteen thousand infantry soldiers, five thousand cavalry soldiers, and a thousand chain horses. There were seven thousand navy soldiers.
As for the commoners, there were more than 25,000 people engaged in production!
As for Liangshan, just like the imperial court, they would give land to the people and let them be self-sufficient. At the same time, the surplus grain would be handed over to Liu Yu.
Similarly, because there were many soldiers in Liangshan, these soldiers would reclaim the wasteland of Liangshan when they were free.
In this way, the labor force of the army was not wasted. Therefore, in Liangshan, which could accommodate the survival of millions of people, a lot of wasteland was reclaimed.
In this way, when autumn comes, there would be no need for them to go down the mountain to buy or rob grain!
……
On the other side, when Liu Dai learned that His Majesty was not willing to send troops to support him, he decided to regroup and wantonly develop his own strength.
In any case, Liu Hong had already said that he would leave everything to Liu Dai to handle. Otherwise, what was the use of having him, the governor of Yanzhou, here?
Just as Liu Dai was fretting over how he should defeat Liu Yu of Liangshan, one of his subordinates came up with a good idea.
"My lord, Liu Yu of Liangshan was able to defeat the government troops repeatedly, even the 30,000 troops led by Wu Cheng. In my opinion, there is a fatal point!”
Hearing his subordinate's words, Liu Dai was also attracted over.
This person was none other than the head of the Yanzhou Li family, Li Qian!
Speaking of this person, perhaps no one knew much about him, but when talking about his nephew, Li Dian, they were somewhat familiar.
Li Dian was the general who joined Cao Cao with Le Jin and the others after Cao Cao raised his army. Moreover, Li Dian was brave in battle and was good at using troops.
In terms of fame, although Li Dian wasn't as famous as Yue Jin and Yu Jin, his status in Cao Cao's camp wasn't much different. Moreover, he was highly regarded by Cao Cao.
It was just that he died before Zhang He and Xu Huang. Otherwise, the Five Generals of Cao Wei might have a position in the future.
Li Qian was Li Dian's uncle.
"Don't drive Li, what do you have in mind? Tell this provincial governor. If you can really capture those people from Liangshan in one fell swoop, this provincial governor will definitely ask His Majesty for credit for you!”
Li Qian said with a smile after hearing Liu Dai's words.
"My lord, there are thousands of miles of water around Mount Liang. It is an excellent natural barrier.”
"Previously, Wu Chengsi led 30,000 troops and was defeated in this lake. Without this lake, how much strength would the bandits of Liangshan have left?”
Liu Dai's eyes immediately lit up when he heard Li Qian's question. After which, he anxiously asked.
"Do you mean that you want me to lure this group of bandits out of Liangshan and use a trick to lure the snake out of its hole to destroy Liu Yu?”
Li Qian smiled and nodded repeatedly when he heard Liu Dai's words.
"Yes, my lord! The people of Liangshan were after all a group of bandits. Although they had many soldiers, they had occupied the natural barrier of Liangshan.”
"Even if 100,000 troops go deep into the lake, they might not dare to say that they can pacify Liangshan. Therefore, I think that we must lure Liu Yu out of Liangshan.”
Liu Dai was overjoyed when he came up with Li Qian's idea.
"Good, good, good. This is a wonderful plan, but how do I lure Liu Yu and his group out of Liangshan? If he continues to hide in Liangshan, how can I defeat him?”
At this point, Liu Dai's face was filled with unwillingness. He was a relative of the Han clan, but the ruler of Yanzhou had been defeated by a bandit, making him famous.
Just this alone was enough to tear his face into pieces. How could he endure this?
"My lord need not worry. Recently, I have also frequently sent troops to inquire about news of Mount Liang.”
"That Liu Yu and his group have been collecting grain from various places in Yanzhou recently. We only need to lock onto the granaries in the city and we will know their movements!”
"After that, my lord can contact Ding Yuan of Bing Province. Rumor has it that his only nephew, Ding Yi, died in Liu Yu's hands. He must hate Liu Yu to the bone.”
After hearing Li Qian's words, Liu Dai burst into laughter and immediately understood Li Qian's plan.
"After that, I invited the Bing Province Army to Yanzhou to help me eliminate Liu Yu, right?”
Li Qian felt somewhat helpless when he heard Liu Dai's words. He had already said so much, yet he still didn't understand his complete plan!
"My lord, the reason why we invited Bing Province's soldiers here is because there are too many Liangshan Generals and we need brave ones. Lu Bu fought against the Six Liangshan Generals before, so we can use him as a trump card!”
"Later, when Mount Liang sends troops to escort the rations, let General Lu capture them alive. Remember, you must capture them alive!”
"Then, my lord can set up an execution ground and bury an ambush so that Liu Yu has no choice but to bring his troops to rescue him. Wouldn't that be able to capture Liu Yu in one fell swoop?”
